^This. The trick was ground clearance, something neither had much of. In one case (the 868 one) there IIRC was some suspension so at least it had a chance if it got stuck on something... the other (the 3940 one) had a solid mecanum drivetrain that did get stuck on the scoring platforms a few times the one practice match it was used in (as a "50 point bonus if you catch it" prank on 3940).
